Several boxes and barrels have been
received at the Smithsonian from the

which recently finished cruise in the

tain the result Of the work OF aiessrs.
T. a. Lucas and William Palmer, OF

the Grampus for the purpose OF making
natural history collections in New
foundland and Labrador and the

Among the standard medicines
quoted in the medical books Of Nurem-
burg Of two hundred years ago are
portions Of the cmbalmcd bodies Of

mauy bodies that have been buried for
more than one thousand years, called
mumia, which have been cmbalmcd
with costly salyes and halsams, aud
smell strongly Of myrrh, alocs, and
other fragrant things
The learned doctors Of France, Cor
many, and Italy all made great use Of
this eccentric drug, and in the seven
teonth century gneyous complaints
arose of its adultcration. NJ. Poinet,
chief apcthocary 10 the French king,
records that the kings physician went

SIR 5OHN A. MaCnoNALD.
Premier OF CANADA. 80 be a Member
orsl,e Fisheries Commission.


The discussion Of the irritating fish
erv dispute, which will enga &c the di-
plomaiicability Of American, Canadian,

shared in by Sir John A. Macdonald,
representing the Dominion. As this
eminent man is probably the ablest re-
prcseptatiye to whom Canada can H.
trnst It's interests, and is a statesman
commanding the ability and learning
which would DO him distinguished
honor in any country, there is no dan
Ger at al that our northern nsighbOr's

complete and forcibie representation.
The review OF Premier Mscdonlid's
career implies an interesting and valu-
able account Of recent history in the
Canadian Dominion.

1873. Subsequently be was a member
q the same body from 1854 to 1888, in
1862. and from 1851 until the new Do
miuion wos formed. During the psrio Is
indicated he held various Offices. he hai
been EeCeiv5r-General, Commissioner
of Crown LANDS, and tttOrney-Generai,
when in 1853 he resigned with his Gov

Jesse Grant, one OF the younger sons
Of the General, came very near being
killed by stroke Of lightning at East
lyme, Conn, during a recent thunder
storm. Mr.. Grant, his wife, and two
children were sitting, with other guests,
in the parlor of their boarding house
when the room was suddenly ilumi-
mated with mn extraordinary flash OF
lightning, with a noise similar TO that
Of an explosion, and accompanied With
strong odor OF sulphur. Mr.. Grant
was severely injured, but Mrs. Grant
escaped unhurt.
The native Mexicans used to hold in
veneration a tree called the "hand-
plant" They believed that only one
plant OF the kind existed, but in 1871
Others were discovered by the Indians,
who were eager to secure the seeds, fol
it was feared that they would become
extinct The flower was a very perfect
representation OF human hand, the
s.amens representing the five fingers
ard extending from the calyx, which
formed a hollow or cup. 1t contained
usually sweet secretion.
